Microsoft's new console, the Xbox One, may include a variety of features that are unpopular amongst many gamers: a required internet connection, a fee to play used games, and an always-on camera.
The internet has discovered over the past few days that these features aren't just de rigeur annoyances, but a series of actual moral crimes. Here are the worst of them.
1. The unemployed and underemployed use games to get through the day, and they can't afford the internet.
@BenKuchera Because video games can be the only thing that gets unemployed/underemployed people through the day.

You know, the unemployed and underemployed people who spend $500 on a play box which has the most realistic combat dogs ever rendered, instead of thirty bucks for the internet, which has Monster.com.
2. The always-on camera can spy on you doing all the things you normally do in front of the television.
3. The Xbox One is a massive intellectual property crime against Sony.
4. It's xenophobic.
5. It breaks European law.
6. We're not all lawyers, KAY?
7. It's unfair to the US military.
